This was a lovely place to eat lunch in Wilmington! I’m gluten-free and the staff were so helpful at explaining their kitchen practices, I felt so safe and happy having many options. I had their salsa sampler which was amazing, their salsa is so bright and refreshing. I also had the jerk shrimp tostada with coconut rice, both were stellar! So fresh and flavorful! Highly recommend Savorez to anyone in the area!

The absolute best quick breakfast i have picked up in a LONG time. it’s so hard to find filling vegetarian/gluten free food without sitting down somewhere. Love how easy it was to order through their app as well, and how customizable everything was. I ended up going back same day to get another drink, too. The staff are so kind I can’t wait to get breakfast from here again, I’m genuinely obsessed with this sandwich.

My family and I ate here for Christmas Eve dinner and had a lovely experience! I am celiac, and they were very knowledgeable about cross contamination etc. and they had a gluten free cornbread!! Great food & a fun wine selection, my MIL had their orange wine which paired very nicely with their oysters & seafood apps. We will definitely be back!!

We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Our group found ourselves in the downtown area during lunch, with almost nothing open and me needing gluten free options. We took a short drive over to Castle Street Kitchen because they had gluten free buns and sides. Its was a cute place and service was great. Everyone really liked their food. I had the cheeseburger with a gluten free bun and side of fresh fruit. The fruit contained pineapple, blue berries, and grapes that were fresh and crisp. The burger was made from good, flavorful beef. The gluten free bun wasn’t bad, a bit crumbly but the taste was fine. Be aware the gluten free bun did have sesame seeds on it. I would definitely go back to this restaurant.

I'm gluten free and vegetarian and loved the dinner I had a delicious meal here! I had the smoky black bean taco and loved the soft and hard taco combo. My partner had the tequila chicken taco and southern fried steak taco. Flavors were great and we loved the chips and salsa! Chips share a fryer so there is cross contamination but it didn't bother me (not celiac).

I’m in town for a weightlifting competition. I stopped in here looking for a gluten free sandwich and the owner was so friendly and helpful! I was able to get a GF sandwich and some snacks for my competition. She was even making protein snack boxes once she found out the competition was happening nearby!

From the moment someone else’s trout dip landed on our table to the end of our evening, we thoroughly enjoyed the whole Dram Yard experience. Amanda was our guide for the evening and she did awesome! One of our party was gluten free and she made sure he was aware of even the slightest cross-contamination so that he had the same fantastic experience as the rest of us. I had the pork chop - incredibly succulent with some crispy edges that gave it a bacon-essence. My only complaint was that there should have been more cabbage because that was AMAZING. The whole dish was really well balanced. My husband had the duck, which can be gamey at times - but not this time. The golden beet puree, potatoes and Demi-glacé made the dish incredible. The blend of flavors was a perfect marriage. One of the BEST duck dishes he’s ever had - top three for sure. My girlfriend had the lamb ravioli with a mint yogurt sauce - also a delicious combination. I should also mention the craft cocktails. The bartender has a gift of blending savory and sweet with the spirits they chose. We each chose something different and all were exceptional. All in all, our best dining experience yet in Wilmington and is definitely worth a do-over. We give this a 5-star and a promise to be back soon. Thank you Dram Yard! And thank you Amanda!
